We partnered with Rise Up Nevada Education, Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains, and Housing Assistance Corp. to help The Obodo Collective put the finishing touches on their urban farm in Las Vegas’ Historic Westside.
Thank you Clark County Commissioner Tick Segerblom and City of Las Vegas Councilwoman Olivia Díaz for the support, to our partners Sierra Club, Chispa Nevada, XL Landscape, ASLA Nevada, Southwest Gas, US Forest Service, and Nevada Division of Forestry, and the neighborhood who said YES to almost 90 trees!
We tabled at Eco-topia and donated an artichoke agave to Ferguson’s Downtown in remembrance of the victims of the Route 91 Harvest Festival tragedy. Remembering the tragedy, the loved ones, the survivors, the first responders, all medical staff and all the extended family, and all those who continue on the path of recovery.
“From the darkest night comes the strongest light”
Special thanks to Starla Newcomb for creating Eco-Topia, and asking us to attend. We raffled off an apple and pomegranate tree, and had lots of fun with partners and met new friends. We learned a lot from urban farmers David the Green Samaritan and Farmer Jen, and met new groups who are ready to plant!
We joined Fifth Sun, Las Vegas DSA, The Obodo Collective and Slow Food Vegas to plant fruit trees at The Solidarity Fridge, a community pantry on the Eastside of Las Vegas. There was also seed sharing, building of raised beds, a compost workshop, a yoga trapeze workshop by Shyft House, and vegan ceviche served by Chef Louie.
